Measuring Resilience as an Education Outcome

Summary

In a report released by the Higher Education Quality Council, SRDC investigates the most appropriate measures to assess resilience as a learning outcome. Resilience has been defined as “the capacity of the person, family, or community to prevent, minimize, overcome, or thrive in spite of negative or challenging circumstances.” The study supports the Higher Education Quality Council in its efforts to determine the role of PSE in enhancing resilience as a transferable skill.
